The Justice Department’s investigation into the origins and handling of Trump-Russia inquiries has moved deeper into the grand-jury phase. Prosecutors in Florida have reportedly issued a new round of subpoenas, shifting parts of the inquiry from voluntary interviews to compelled testimony. Former CIA Director John Brennan has been identified as a potential target.
Investigators are examining whether intelligence and law-enforcement officials crossed legal lines while scrutinizing President Donald Trump and his associates, and the inquiry also reaches matters connected to the FBI’s 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago. Based on the exhaustive amount of information that has been declassified and released, it should be an open-and-shut case for the Grand Jury to bring about charges to disgraced deep state spooks of the Obama-Biden era.
For years, arguments over “Russiagate,” intelligence assessments, surveillance, and federal investigative power were fought through congressional hearings and inspector-general reports.
Many important facts have been unearthed, but there has been little movement in terms of indictments. A grand jury can change that in a hurry. Prosecutors can compel witnesses and documents, and they develop admissible evidence backing up an indictment. The time for action is now. We have waited with baited breath for almost two years, and Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Rosenstein, McCabe and the rest of the lowlifes are still free men. If they are not charged and jailed, nothing will prevent them from doing the same operation the next chance they get.
The grand jury must do its job and work to restore the rule of law in this country before it is too late.
